Tim Hardaway Jr. Agrees To A 4-Year Contract With Knicks

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- First round draft pick Tim Hardaway Jr. has signed four-year contract with the New York Knicks. The deal was announced by the team on Monday afternoon.

Hardaway Jr. was selected 24th overall at the 2013 NBA Draft. The 6'6" guard was a 2012-13 All-Big Ten First Team Selection and left Michigan as a junior.

Hardaway Jr. has elected to wear the number 5 and will be joining the Knicks' summer league team.

His father, Tim Hardaway Sr. famously competed against the Knicks as a member of the Miami Heat in countless playoff battles.

The Knicks also made official the signing of forward C.J. Leslie, who went undrafted out of North Carolina State.
